Chapter 6 Qingqiu
In the early morning, the sky was faintly white, gray as if it was going to rain but it didn't come. There was silence on the mountain, and all living beings were immersed in their own gentle villages, but they were penetrated by the two figures.
"Are you sure you know the way?" The gray figure asked.
"Of course, my nose is smart, believe me right!" The yellow figure replied.
"Look, isn't that it!"
Looking in the direction of the yellow figure's finger, sure enough, there was a house surrounded by clouds and mist not far away, standing on the top of the mountain and floating in the mist.
"Knock knock" A few hurried knocks on the door.
"Here we are!" An old man's voice answered and opened the door with the sound of slow footsteps.
"Old man, here we are!" A girl in yellow spoke now.
The gray-clothed girl next to her tugged on her yellow head, the big ears that caught the eye.
"Shhh Ash, why are you pulling my ears! ”
"You can't speak!" Ash was a little angry, and her two gray ears were pricked up.
"I'm really sorry, Divine Doctor, my sister can't speak, don't take it to heart. The two of us were sent by Qingqiu to pick you up to treat the eldest princess, and please ask the divine doctor to prepare, and we can go! ”
"Okay, good, there are two Lao." Yao Lao nodded in thanks, and then shouted into the house.
"Xing'er!"
"Here we go!" A girl's voice came from inside the house.
The two messengers looked at each other and saw that it was a little girl, and the little one was carrying a bulging package behind her.
"Are you stinky girl going to take the house with you?" Yao Lao looked at it and asked.
"I thought I'd get hungry on the road, so I got a little bit of a coil. Pick left and right, I was reluctant to leave it behind, so I simply took it with me. Xing'er blinked and said very reasonably.
"Poof. Little girl, let me tell you, we have a lot of delicious food in Qingqiu, and there are also snacks and fruits on the way, so I won't be hungry for you! ”
The attendant with yellow ears smiled and said to her that Yao Lao had taken away Xing'er's package in shame, and Xing'er looked at it reluctantly. Then, seeing that the time was almost up, the gray-eared attendant took out a red paper cut from his long cuffs, and looked closely at it, it was a very delicately cut carriage. The attendant threw the piece of paper on the ground, and with a "bang" sound, there was a burst of white mist on the ground, and after a while, he looked at the ground again. Oh, a delicate and gorgeous carriage came into view.
“
Wow, how to do this, I want to learn too. Xing'er looked at the world before and looked at it again.
"Little girl, this is just a very ordinary little spell, if you are interested in these, go find a fairy gate and worship a master." Xiao Huang next to him said.
"Okay, it's almost time, you two can go to Qingqiu with me now!" The gray-eared messenger looked very respectful and steady, and waved his sleeves to signal them to get into the car.
After getting into the carriage, a fresh breeze blew on the ground, rolling up pieces of peach blossoms, and slowly propped the car into the air. Shining in the faint sunlight, soaring.
"This carriage actually flew up!" Xing'er lifted the tasseled curtain beside her and poked her head out.
Yao Lao snorted happily, and his fingers tapped her head that was about to stretch out. Xing'er was not angry, and withdrew her head and smirked.
The carriage did exude royal sophistication and luxury, but it was not so vulgar and exaggerated. Xiao Lingran was very restless in the carriage, looking east and west, surrounded by red and gold, the cloth on the left and right looked at the best fabric, embroidered with the logo of colorful auspicious clouds and nine-tailed foxes, and embroidered a tree behind it - a peach blossom tree that seemed to be swaying in the wind, and there were a few little foxes playing under the tree.
Xiao Lingran rubbed his eyes, and his stomach screamed a few more times. There were a few laughs outside, and it turned out that the two attendants had changed their methods, transformed into a gray and yellow light, and led them in front of the car.
"Is Miss Xing'er hungry?"
This time it was a gray light and asked with a smile. Xiao Lingran in the car blushed, strange and embarrassed. The random gray messenger didn't know what spell he cast, but he saw that on the mahogany table in front of Xing'er in the car, there were suddenly a lot of pastries and snacks that he had never seen before.
Xing'er glanced at it, and first took a fancy to the plate placed in the upper left corner. On the plate are pink peach blossoms waiting to be released.
"It's ....... Flower buds? Xing'er asked.
"Hehe, this is called Peach Blossom Smile. It is made by our famous chef, taking the morning dew and fresh peach blossoms into juice, and then kneading it with glutinous rice to form a ball, with red bean paste, black sesame seeds, melon seeds as the filling, to make the shape of peach blossom buds. ”
This time, he spoke with a yellow light, and the head of the speech was as if he understood the Tao very well.
Xiao Lingran picked up a bud and put it on the palm of her hand, and looked at it, this bud was the size of her palm, carved very realistically, and it smelled sweet with peach blossoms, as if it was a real peach blossom.
Not long after it was placed in the palm of his hand, the bud opened as if it had come to life, unfolding its beautiful five petals, leaking out the tempting filling inside, like a peach blossom holding its own treasure.
A burst of sweetness poured into his nose, Xiao Lingran sniffed the smell in the air, and ate it in two or three bites. In a blink of an eye, I saw a plate of pastries, with various shapes of small foxes, carved very beautifully, as if every hair on the fox's body was depicted, white, gray, yellow and black, with different expressions.
Xiao Lingran saw a white, running, grinning fox pastry, and felt very cute, so he reached out to get it. As soon as the hand reached over, the fox disappeared, and when I looked again, I ran out of the plate.
Xiao Lingran rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was dazzled. I reached for it again, and unexpectedly pounced again. The medicine elder next to him took one casually with a smile, looking like a fox lying down and sleeping.
Xiao Lingran watched the medicine elder get it easily, and ate it with relish. She felt that she had received ridicule and was very dissatisfied, so she stubbornly compared with the piece of pastry that could run.
The little white fox is very agile, obviously he was still here just now, and the next second he ran away, no matter how Xiao Lingran caught it, even if he caught it, he couldn't catch it. Look at the little white fox again, still grinning happily, obviously laughing at Xiao Ling's embarrassed appearance.
grabbed and grabbed, but Xiao Ling was tired, and Yao Lao covered his mouth and snickered for a long time, and the little girl was angry at him.
"Master, I'm so pitiful, if you don't help me, forget it, and still make fun of me there!" Xiao Lingran crossed his hands in front of his chest, turned his head, and said angrily with a pout.
"Poofha, you little girl, you really can't afford to lose! Come on, come on, you see! ”
Yao Lao picked up the silver wine glass in his hand, shook the wine in the glass, and sprinkled some of it with his fingers on the fox, who seemed to be drunk, and also climbed down and fell asleep. So, Yao Lao easily took it over again and handed it to Xiao Lingran.
Xiao Lingran finished eating this "moving pastry" in one bite as if he was retaliating, and looked at Yao Lao with great satisfaction:
"Master, how did you do this? Why can't I catch it, you just sprinkle a few drops of water?"
Yao Lao smiled, touched his beard and said:
"This plate of pastry has been cast with some small spells, so those little foxes are just like the real ones, bouncing and coming alive."
Yao Lao looked at Xing'er and pointed to the pastry again:
"Look at the fox I took earlier, what does it look like?"
"I think it's a yellow fox lying down and sleeping!"
"That's right, they all have the demeanor and habits of foxes, and when you lie down and sleep, it's like you're sleeping, and I want to catch it, but it naturally doesn't know."
Xing'er touched her chin thoughtfully, like a little detective:
"So...... The master was able to catch it because it was sleeping, and the one I was eyeing was in a state of running, so I couldn't catch it running around. ”
Yao Lao nodded and replied:
"You're right, what I just dipped in my hands is Qingqiu's famous peach blossom wine, which smells gentle and sweet, but has a lot of stamina. I sprinkled a few drops of wine on those pastries, and they seemed to be drunk and couldn't walk, so naturally they were better off. ”
Xing'er nodded in understanding, and began to sweep out the delicious food on the table again: peach blossom smile, all kinds of foxes, rose crisps, marzipans, and other unnamed snacks.
"Hiccup~"
Xiao Lingran patted his round belly, crossed Erlang's legs and half-leaned on the cushion, burped comfortably and squinted his eyes to take a nap.
Yao Lao looked at his baby and sighed, how can you say that this child is so easy to be satisfied, eat, sleep, sleep, tsk, tsk......
"Is the little girl sleepy?"
The sound in front of the carriage came in again, and Yao Lao responded with a "hmm", and the random people outside snapped their fingers, and a faint incense poured into the car.
"This is the fragrance made of peach blossoms, which helps sleep, the two of you have a good rest, it will be here soon."
"Okay, there are two girls."
Yao Lao thanked, looking at the small group that was asleep, he couldn't help but gently stroke her, accompanied by her snoring, remembering the time when he took care of Xing'er when he was a child......
The aroma is getting stronger and stronger, as if he is in the real secret realm of the peach forest, like a dream, Yao Lao looked at it, the source of this fragrance turned out to be from behind him.
Originally, I just thought that the peach blossom tree embroidered on the cloth behind me was used to dress up, but I didn't expect it to emit such a sweet floral fragrance. On closer inspection, the peach tree seemed to be really swaying in the wind.
After another moment, the carriage seemed to be slowly descending, and with a slight shock, Xiao Ling woke up.
"Two, Qingqiu has arrived! Please tidy up and get off the bus, and I will lead you to Princess Celestia. ”
